Saving a file to a specific location
#6
when working with paths in Windows where separator is backslash (normally) you have three alternatives:
escaping the backslash:
folder = 'E:\\Work\School\\Computer Science\\Python\\Code\\User Info\\'
using raw string
folder = r'E:\Work\\School\Computer Science\Python\Code\User Info\'
or using forward slash
folder = 'E:/Work/School/Computer Science/Python/Code/User Info/'
using single backslash will cause error if backlash is followed by certain chars that in combination with backslash represent escape sequence. In your case '\u is such combination.
